Answer:

B) The tree-of-heaven is originally from China. It produces a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it.

Explanation:

In ecology, a plant is said to be "INVASIVE" if it is FOREIGN or NON-NON-NATIVE to a particular region or area and also poses a great threat to the native species of that region. An invasive species, when introduced into a foreign habitat, heavily competes with the existing local species of that same habitat.

This is the case of the tree-of-heaven, which is originally from China. The tree produces a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. Note that this plant species is foreign to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia as it originates from China. Likewise it harms the local or native species of the park by secreting a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. This characteristics portrays a plant that is INVASIVE.

The answers include:

A loaf of risen but unbaked bread - chemical change.
Photo by Elinor D - chemical change.
Bread dough rising - chemical change.

<h3>What is a Chemical change?</h3>

This involves the formation of a new products from substances. In this scenario, a rising bread contains alcohol which evaporates.

Photographs also fall under this category and is therefore an irreversible chemical change.

A 100.0 ml sample of 0.10 m ca(oh)2 is titrated with 0.10 m hbr. determine the ph of the solution after the addition of 400.0 ml

WINSTONCH [101]

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HBr --> CaBr₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HBr is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.10 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.010 mol
Number of HBr moles added - 0.10 mol/L x 0.4000 = 0.040 mol
1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs 2 mol of HBr for neutralisation
therefore 0.010 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs - 0.010 x 2 = 0.020 mol of HBr to be neutralised
but 0.040 mol of HBr has been added therefore number of moles of HBr in excess - 0.040 - 0.020 = 0.020 mol
then pH of the medium can be calculated using the excess H⁺ ions
HBr is a strong acid therefore complete ionization
[HBr] = [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 0.020 mol / (100.0 + 400.0 mL)
= 0.020 mol / 0.5 L
= 0.040 mol/L
pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = - log [0.040 M]
pH = 1.40
pH of the medium is 1.40
